[ It helps, in a way, to be reminded of their regular, daily lives like that. He'd been quite committed to shoving all the weirdness down up until this moment and although that veil has clearly been broken, he would like to think that things can return to normal. ]
Yes... that sounds about right for me, too. It was very familiar even though it had no good reason to be.
[ While he's traveled around in his life, he too has always called Aldrip his home. ]
I'd like to say it's all meaningless, but if it's happened to us both, I don't think that can be true.
[ There's no need to rush things. They have all day, all week, and however many months necessary to get to the bottom of things. The days will pass by whether or not choose to fill them contemplating whatever's been going on. ]
[ Spending their time pondering it, whether the time spent was days or weeks or more, seems like something they just shouldn't do. It's like asking for trouble, asking for something to disrupt their peaceful lives.
But unfortunately, Miller is not going to be physically capable of going on like usual anymore. So he knows it helps very little to think of how things should or shouldn't be—but he still begins gesturing empathically with his hands as he speaks. ]
No, that's the problem. It would be easier if it meant nothing. I don't know if it's going to make sense, but... [ as much as he hates to say it ] there is something going on. Perhaps you are right and we'll figure out what it is soon enough.
[ It will make sense over time, probably. In any event, Minato thinks most things do. Sitting around and mulling things over will only get them so far. ]
I don't think there's anything that means "nothing," is there?
[ The visions weren't important to him, but that doesn't mean they should be ignored. ]
...I think everything happens for a reason, even if we don't know why at that time.
[ The sun hangs high in the sky, noon on the horizon. It's not nearly as big as the moon from Minato's dreams. ]
[ Well... no, maybe not. There are things that are inevitable, things that take place that will go on whether or not they are seen or acknowledged, but anything could probably be assigned a meaning depending on how you thought of it. In the vision, the only feeling he can really grasp that he felt then was determination to protect something very important. The nonsense with the little vial and the weaponry and armor, he's not so sure of, but that part...
He considers it and the rest of Minato's words for a moment in silence, and then putting his hands on his knees, stands up again. ]
Thank you.
[ He reaches down to him to offer a hand back up as well. ]
I have a lot of things to think about, but I appreciate the ear.
[ Perhaps all the little details aren't what Miller should focus on, but instead, it's that protective sentiment which matters the most.
Minato glances up at Miller with a blank look, blinking a couple times at the man. He's not quite sure what he's being thanked for, but if Miller found it helpful that's all that matters. Minato takes the offered hand and allows his company to pull him to his feet.
His blank looks shifts into a small smile. ]
I'm glad it helped.
[ After all, this was way better than Miller scolding him for wandering around town so late at night. ]

Maybe it will make sense later.
